In GameStop saga, U.S. regulator examining all aspects and parties: sources

Chris Prentice, Pete Schroeder, 05 January 2021

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is looking at every aspect of and parties involved in the “Reddit rally” of GameStop Corp and other stocks, said two people familiar with the matter, suggesting a swath of industry participants may be swept up in the regulator’s review of the trading frenzy.

The people added that the furious surge in shares of GameStop, AMC Entertainment Holdings and other stocks contained familiar patterns, in that it involves users of online platforms hyping up stocks – something seen in the past on bulletin boards and social media platforms.

However, manipulation cases can be complex and may rely on more than simply language posted on a message board, they said.

FINRA Fines Robinhood Financial, LLC $1.25 Million for Best Execution Violations

FINRA found that for more than a year, Robinhood—which offers its customers the ability to trade in equity securities without being charged commissions—routed its customers’ non-directed equity orders to four broker-dealers, all of which paid Robinhood for that order flow. This arrangement is known in the brokerage industry as payment for order flow.

Comment: Robinhood fined and just look what they do They let you trade for FREE how? Nothing is free in this world right, well they sell your order to another firm (the get paid for it) You get your trade for free everyone happy. BUT who wants your orders? You guess it NAKED SHORT SELLING firms. They trade against you order for example if your buying 5K of shares of SRNE on firday THE order is naked shorted by Them Never making it to the market at all. If you sell it and they are short. You can bet your kidney on it they will let that 5K go to the market and help drive it lower NEVER being the buyer. Thats the game. AND ROBINHOOD is helping the crooks for profit and screwing their own CLIENT.

Lakewood’s Anthony Bozza Recommended Shorting Three Pot Stocks at Robin Hood

Joshua Fineman, 30 October 2018

(Bloomberg) — Lakewood Capital Management LP’s Anthony Bozza recommended shorting Tilray Inc., Canopy Growth Corp., and Aurora Cannabis Inc. at the Robin Hood Investors Conference in New York City, according to a person with knowledge of the presentation. Two of these companies, Canopy Growth and Aurora Cannabis, were named new shorts by Lakewood in their fourth-quarter letter to clients in January.

Bozza said that it’s not a matter of if, but when these pot stocks collapse. Tilray shares have reversed about 9 percent for the day’s peak, turning negative around the same time that Bozza was scheduled to present at RobinHood.

Isodiol International Inc. (ISOLF): $ISOLF news out!”

stockman69, 25 April 2018

It has come to the attention of Isodiol International Inc. (CSE: ISOL) (OTC: ISOLF) (FSE: LB6A.F) (the “Company” or “Isodiol”) that an anonymous author by the fictitious name “Grumpy Bear” has posted a lengthy article on the website www.seekingalpha.com that is intended to disparage the Company by any means possible. While Isodiol has a general policy of not responding to anonymous media and online postings, this particular article is the first of its kind, has had wide dissemination, and has a misleading air of credibility due to the website where it was posted.

We wish to be clear. The author is not credible, and the article is not credible. The author has written four articles under the Grumpy Bear alias, and each one appears timed to an artificial sell-off in the stock of the target issuer for the benefit of a specific short-selling fund group. There also is evidence that suggests the real people behind the Grumpy Bear alias have engaged in similar tactics for the better part of the last decade under other aliases, two of which have resulted in several hundred million dollar lawsuits against the fund group.
Moreover, the article was not written to journalistic or regulated research analyst standards and has no such integrity. Other than scattered facts with citations to voluntary public disclosures by the Company and certain other limited public information, the article is fiction. The fictional and defamatory nature of the article also is why the true identity of Grumpy Bear is concealed by use of an anonymous third-party e-mail server based in Switzerland. Isodiol intends to pursue all available legal remedies against the author and these artificial short sellers.
